Finance

Problem 3-04 You decide to sell short 100 shares of Charlotte Horse Farms when it is selling at its yearly high of $62. Your broker tells you that your margin requirement is 60 percent and that the commission on the purchase is $185. While you are short the stock, Charlotte pays a $2.20 per share dividend. At the end of one year, you buy 100 shares of Charlotte at $50 to close out your position and are charged a commission of $165 and 8 percent interest on the money borrowed. What is your rate of return on the investment? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
